Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has taken to Twitter with a heartfelt message for Derby County’s fans following his loan stint at Pride Park this season just gone.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a thoroughly fruitful season on loan with the Rams, his 44 appearances in all competitions yielding 11 goals and six assists (Transfermarkt).
